:00:10. > :00:11.Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today.
:00:12. > :00:13.In tonight's programme: The final farewell to Lusty.
:00:14. > :00:14.The decommissioning of the aircraft carrier

:00:36. > :00:44.And he's done it again ` the world's oldest wing walker, 94`year`old Tom,
:00:45. > :01:06.It's fantastic. Exhilarating, unbelievable, out of this world.
:01:07. > :01:09.It was a name that was to prove fitting for her 30 years
:01:10. > :01:11.of military service but tonight HMS Illustrious is no longer an
:01:12. > :01:15.A decommissioning ceremony today sent her into retirement
:01:16. > :01:20.following her sister ships Invincible and Ark Royal but, unlike
:01:21. > :01:23.those other carriers, she won't be heading for the scrap heap.
:01:24. > :01:25.Tom Hepworth reports on another milestone in Portsmouth's
:01:26. > :01:42.A salute from a Sea King, one old warhorse of the Royal Navy to
:01:43. > :01:49.another. A lowering of the white games in the marking the end of an
:01:50. > :01:52.era. Hundreds of people attended the decommissioning ceremony. The ship
:01:53. > :01:56.'s company past and present and 15 former captains. There is no doubt
:01:57. > :02:05.this grand older lady of the fleet will be missed. To many here, she is
:02:06. > :02:11.part of the family. My first commission was in 1982. And then
:02:12. > :02:17.Thomas was there in 1983. My name is engraved on the ship so it goes down
:02:18. > :02:23.in It is sad but it is also a privilege to be one of the last
:02:24. > :02:30.people serving on her. My dad was on the ship back in 1982 when it first
:02:31. > :02:33.came out and my father`in`law was on the old illustrious during the
:02:34. > :02:44.Second World War. We have a family connection. You will be sad to see
:02:45. > :02:46.her go? Yes. She is an old girl but she is a good old girl. She was
:02:47. > :02:53.rushed into service for the Falklands water. She arrives after
:02:54. > :02:56.the conflict. She enforced no`fly zones in Iraq and Bosnia and last
:02:57. > :03:02.year delivered humanitarian relief after the Philippines were battered
:03:03. > :03:05.by it`. Illustrious only re`entered service three years ago after a ?40
:03:06. > :03:10.million refit. The commanding officer would not be drawn on
:03:11. > :03:14.whether that represented value for money but denied she was being
:03:15. > :03:26.retired early because of shortage of engineers It was all is going to be
:03:27. > :03:29.this year. She is out there and running and doing her thing. After
:03:30. > :03:37.nearly three and a half decades it is time. There have been expressions
:03:38. > :03:43.of interest to buy the ship but the conditions are that she remains in
:03:44. > :03:47.the UK. The cost of turning into a conference venue or museum may prove
:03:48. > :03:51.too much without financial backing. HMS Illustrious left up to her name.
:03:52. > :03:55.As the oldest ship leaving the fleet, she leads a tear in the eye
:03:56. > :03:59.of many people at the ceremony down below. As for the future, that is
:04:00. > :04:01.still undecided. An Isle of Wight woman has pleaded
:04:02. > :04:03.guilty to Sau Lin`Hin appeared at
:04:04. > :04:07.Portsmouth Crown Court today and A 22`year`old woman was left with
:04:08. > :04:11.life`changing injuries after the attack at a Chinese
:04:12. > :04:18.restaurant in Sandown. Handguns, machetes and jewellery
:04:19. > :04:20.have been recovered by police, as part of an extraordinary haul of
:04:21. > :04:24.items found in a pond near Worthing. In all, more than 850 items,
:04:25. > :04:27.many of them believed to be stolen, were discovered in the water
:04:28. > :04:29.at Whitebeam Wood in Durrington. Officers are now trying to reunite
:04:30. > :04:32.the items with their owners, who have an adventurous dog to thank
:04:33. > :04:35.for discovering their hiding place, For Diane Cooksley
:04:36. > :04:41.and her dog Rubens it was just a normal daily walk in the woods
:04:42. > :04:44.near their home in Worthing, until the ten`year`old golden retriever
:04:45. > :04:48.decided to take a dip in the pond. He just jumped in
:04:49. > :04:53.and made a dive for the swamp. I thought it was a jacket but I
:04:54. > :04:58.don't know He came out with a box,
:04:59. > :05:03.with cuff links in it. I didn't think
:05:04. > :05:10.about the consequences afterwards, A huge haul of around 800 items
:05:11. > :05:17.of jewellery which was recovered by police divers who spent two days
:05:18. > :05:22.searching the pond. These are just some of
:05:23. > :05:28.the weapons which were discovered. A couple of revolvers here,
:05:29. > :05:32.a machete and a bayonet. Some of the weapons may have come
:05:33. > :05:35.from burglaries, That's something we obviously
:05:36. > :05:40.need to follow up. We'll send some of the weapons
:05:41. > :05:43.off for forensic examination. Police believe
:05:44. > :05:46.the goods have come from up to eight burglaries in the area over
:05:47. > :05:49.the past year, thieves having sold on more valuable items then dumped
:05:50. > :05:55.these, mostly costume jewellery. Divers also recovered pillowcases
:05:56. > :05:58.which had been used by the Detectives are hoping people will
:05:59. > :06:03.recognise some of the more distinctive items, which
:06:04. > :06:06.in turn could give police evidence to help them catch the burglars who
:06:07. > :06:10.hid this haul in Longcroft Park There's a gallery of those items
:06:11. > :06:28.on the Sussex Police website. We've put a link to that up
:06:29. > :06:31.on the South Today Facebook page. The car park of a Bournemouth
:06:32. > :06:34.shopping centre is to be re`built almost a decade after its
:06:35. > :06:38.structural problems first emerged. At one stage, Castlepoint had to
:06:39. > :06:41.close while the car park was made safe and, even now that the
:06:42. > :06:44.permanent repairs have been agreed, Castlepoint opened in 2003
:06:45. > :06:51.but just two years later the Chunks of concrete started
:06:52. > :06:56.falling from the roof. The entire complex had to be closed
:06:57. > :06:59.during the peak Christmas period. It was shut for three weeks
:07:00. > :07:02.while the car park was reinforced Some of the big high street names
:07:03. > :07:09.threatened legal action to get compensation for the millions
:07:10. > :07:12.of pounds they lost in sales. But after years of legal wrangling,
:07:13. > :07:15.the car park is now going to be redeveloped and a planning
:07:16. > :07:20.application is being submitted. So now the two`storey car park will
:07:21. > :07:23.be demolished and rebuilt, and the Some temporary parking spaces will
:07:24. > :07:29.have to be built under Castlepoint, but it'll be another three years
:07:30. > :07:34.before the work is completed. The cost of all this `
:07:35. > :07:37.and who's picking up the bill ` isn't being revealed,

:08:35. > :08:37.cause to try and help the NHS, who are under pressure to finance

:09:25. > :09:28.and learn how to cook the right food and what is good and what is not
:09:29. > :09:32.good to eat and feed your children. The charity is now appealing for

:11:12. > :11:16.of a country park run by Hampshire County Council but the car
:11:17. > :11:19.park shuts in the early evening. Some residents say they want to be
:11:20. > :11:38.able to use the beach This is a perfect place to come for
:11:39. > :11:42.a late evening stroll in the summer sun and the perfect place to come
:11:43. > :11:47.all year round. You have the cafe, the beautiful views to the mainland
:11:48. > :11:53.and Lepe country Park. Earlier I spoke to some people to find out why
:11:54. > :12:00.they like to come down here. I like to stay out for as long as I can and
:12:01. > :12:03.sometimes I come in when the conditions are beautiful. It would
:12:04. > :12:09.be great if I could sail until the sun comes down. You have the forest
:12:10. > :12:14.and the sea, a lovely combination. I have been coming here for the past
:12:15. > :12:20.two months and it is great fun when the wind is good. People are always
:12:21. > :12:25.nice and I've had great fun here. Over 800 people have set up a
:12:26. > :12:30.Facebook profile or group and one of those campaigners to try and keep
:12:31. > :12:38.the car park open 24 hours joins me now. Why do you want the car park
:12:39. > :12:41."smack so the general public have unfettered access to the car park so
:12:42. > :12:51.we can use it all the time if required. What would you do after
:12:52. > :12:57.830 every night? There are people who do windsurfing, photographers,
:12:58. > :13:00.birds twitchers. Earlier I spoke to the County Council business manager
:13:01. > :13:05.to find out if there is any hope for the future. We have been approached
:13:06. > :13:10.by some residents who wants to see the car park open longer and we need
:13:11. > :13:14.to review the situation. We'll lease the land here so we need to
:13:15. > :13:17.negotiate with the land owners and there is legislation associated with
:13:18. > :13:23.opening hours of car parks which would have to be addressed. We will
:13:24. > :13:28.listen to their views and if there are is a need we will review that.
:13:29. > :13:34.There is obviously a compromise to be made. It should be a public
:13:35. > :13:42.facility and open 24 hours. Why disagreed to be closed? There is
:13:43. > :13:47.obviously a lot of vandalism and anti`social behaviour. The cafe and
:13:48. > :13:52.offices have been broken into. Well, use the police, don't punish the
:13:53. > :13:57.majority for the sake of a minority. The campaign group are hoping for a

:16:22. > :16:23.Well, Miss Isle, as Natasha is known, is back home
:16:24. > :16:27.and earlier joined me on the sofa with her mum Amanda to explain what
:16:28. > :16:45.It was your idea, wasn't it? You like sailing. But you have done a
:16:46. > :16:49.lot of walking over the last few years in your special walker,
:16:50. > :16:53.haven't you? And you've all was wanted to climb to the top of a
:16:54. > :17:01.mountain. And there were challenges along the way. What did you face?
:17:02. > :17:07.Life is a challenge. The whole sea and summits challenge was
:17:08. > :17:15.logistically quite... There was a lot to organise, apart from the
:17:16. > :17:22.sailing. You played a big part in the technology. It is designed
:17:23. > :17:26.specifically for her. Her main reliable control is her breath so we
:17:27. > :17:34.had to come up with something which she could use her breath to control
:17:35. > :17:38.the boat. That is how it came about. And you love being on the water,
:17:39. > :17:46.don't you? It is like flying, isn't it? If you are free, don't you? And
:17:47. > :17:54.you were there every step of the way on the support boat. Yes, that's
:17:55. > :18:06.right. Natasha was in her boat and we were in the other boat. And then
:18:07. > :18:14.you just had a mountain to climb. It was a fair old mountain, wasn't it?
:18:15. > :18:22.It was big. Everybody cheered you on, then they? You wouldn't look
:18:23. > :18:32.back. Natasha Windward back from setting off in the morning, we kept
:18:33. > :18:41.saying look at the view behind and what did you keep saying? No. She
:18:42. > :18:48.was focused on getting to the top. And you raised a lot of money for
:18:49. > :18:53.charity. Natasha raised ?12,500. We are hoping to get up to 15,000. You
:18:54. > :18:58.have been working with the charities over the last two or three years and
:18:59. > :19:24.you really like helping them and helping other people. What are the
:19:25. > :19:28.next challenges? Beggar. `` bigger. Are you happiest on the water? You
:19:29. > :19:40.have your freedom and you're in control. Do you have a plan for any
:19:41. > :19:44.of the other boats? The first boat is sat in the harbour at the moment.
:19:45. > :19:50.We would like to be able to help other people in a similar situation
:19:51. > :19:54.that there only method of control might be to use their mouths so we'd
:19:55. > :19:59.like to be able to use your boat for other people in the same situation.
:20:00. > :20:06.So other people could benefit from this. What's more sailors out there
:20:07. > :20:09.in the future and thanks you. Thank you very much for coming in and
:20:10. > :20:17.congratulations and we'll see you after the next challenge.
:20:18. > :20:26.She is a wonderful inspiration. It really sums her up.
:20:27. > :20:28.Others will get an opportunity now. I love the way when asked what was
:20:29. > :20:33.next she said bigger. As you will have heard there, one of
:20:34. > :20:36.the charities supported by Natasha The trust gives children who've
:20:37. > :20:39.battled illness the opportunity And this week, a decade after it was
:20:40. > :20:44.formed, the trust has paired up with Taking the helm
:20:45. > :20:49.on the choppy waters of the Solent. 30 young people,
:20:50. > :20:51.each faced with cancer, are taking part in a four`day sailing trip
:20:52. > :20:54.off the coast of the Isle of Wight. It's being run by the

:20:57. > :20:58.A Chacun Son Cap was Translated,
:20:59. > :21:03.it means everyone has a goal. They get more confident
:21:04. > :21:06.in themselves. It's very important when you have
:21:07. > :21:13.been here, like with an illness like cancer, it's very, very important
:21:14. > :21:19.for them to rebuild themselves. For the first time
:21:20. > :21:21.the two charities have come together Three French students joining the UK
:21:22. > :21:26.crews. For the young people it's a chance
:21:27. > :21:29.to spend time with others who've been through similar experiences, as
:21:30. > :21:33.well as sharing a journey with their Great to see the work that the Ellen
:21:34. > :21:49.MacArthur Trust has done. The seventh Bournemouth Air Festival
:21:50. > :21:51.got underway today and the organisers wanted
:21:52. > :21:53.an impressive curtain raiser So they found a 94`year veteran
:21:54. > :21:58.of the skies to display some This veteran isn't an aeroplane `
:21:59. > :22:03.it's a person. It's pensioner Tom Lackey,
:22:04. > :22:06.who is the world's oldest wing walker and broke his own record atop
:22:07. > :22:10.a biplane over the resort. Sarah Farmer, who likes a bit
:22:11. > :22:32.of a challenge herself, was Walking on air. Tom Lackey took to
:22:33. > :22:43.the skies for his 33rd wing`walk today. It's fantastic. Exhilarating,

:25:42. > :25:50.A beautiful end to the day here at? Beach. Let's look at the satellite
